Fluoxetine (Prozac) _ How to get off it

Hi! I weened off Prozac about 6 weeks ago. I was on 10 mg for at least 3 years and others before. My psychiatrist just had me do 5 mg for 4 days then off and I did great but slowly I started getting panic attacks just waking up and now I have started to have debilitating anxiety/panic for days. I’m literally going nuts from this and my eye won’t stop twitching either. I had also weened off topamax at the same time. Can anyone help? I see regular dr on Tuesday. My psychiatrist was useless and spent 5 min and 37 seconds on my phone appointment and left me in this state just to get worse and worse. I was super depressed and suicidal so I wanted off as those are side effects of both meds and I’m no longer depressed and I take 3 mg of klonopin a day which barely helps. Please I’d love some input. Thank you.

That taper was ridiculously fast. These doctors are crazy. You need to someone ASAP, reinstate and start over at a nice slow pace. It could take months or longer. Prozac is usually one of the easiest to taper if done correctly.
